Title: Are you Scizophrenic ? Post by: DoubleEagle on October 25, 2010, 10:15:58 PM Around the home or on the town, I'm a laid back kind a guy......but when I get on the bikes I'm a real DEMON !
Once I get out on the road , I completely feel like I'm in a world where I control time and space. The faster I go the more I feel like I'm in another world. As though at a twist of the wrist I can leave my troubles far behind. I sail along eating up big chunks of land and soaking in what lays in front of me like a giant camera. Scanning for Deer, [leo]s , sudden vehicles coming from unexpected places as I negotiate my way through the scenery. Time seems to be lost. It has no reference. Only the change of the shadows . Boy do I love to ride !

Title: Re: Are you Scizophrenic ? Post by: Buckethead on October 26, 2010, 05:34:35 PM Well, according to THESE PEOPLE (http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/schizophrenia/what-are-the-symptoms-of-schizophrenia.shtml), no.
And from the symptoms you describe, neither are you. Title: Re: Are you Scizophrenic ? Post by: DoubleEagle on October 26, 2010, 05:42:07 PM Dolph, don't you live in Ohio? What do you do the 7-8 months/yr the weather won't cooperate? Move south, man! swampduc, the Summer's heat is as bad for me as Winter's cold.[laugh] [laugh] [laugh] I ride mostly when the temps are between 50 and 78. Most of my riding is Spring and Fall or when a cold front comes through in Summer. My ideal riding temp. is 68 degrees. The Hocking Hills are my Home. A riding Paradise. 5 State Parks : Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, Conkle's Hollow , Rock House and Cantwell Cliffs all within a 20 mile radius w, terrific roads connecting them and that's just a start.

Dolph (http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn198/DoubleEagle_photo/ride.gif) that I do. Off bike - easy going guy on bike- make the beast with two backs off attitude is on the rev limiter Title: Re: Are you Scizophrenic ? Post by: ab on October 27, 2010, 07:05:31 PM As soon as I put on my helmet, I am a different person. When zigzag traffic, I am totally different person. On the twisty, I am totally different person.
When not on the bike, I admit I am a total dork. :-( Title: Re: Are you Scizophrenic ? Post by: kopfjäger on October 27, 2010, 07:08:23 PM ^^^ Too easy, I won't go there. :D
Title: Re: Are you Scizophrenic ? Post by: Preisker on October 27, 2010, 07:53:08 PM You're right. Myself, I turn into aggressive, a$$hole rider, lane splitting, higher RPM than is really necessary, don't wait for sh!t, don't slow down for sh!t, don't stop for sh!t, except cops, and I haven't gotten a ticket on the Ducati, just in the Chevy truck. Go figure. I think it keeps me alive, much more focus than if I'm just putting along, looking at the little birdies. If I'm hauling bananas' around, I'm pretty damned focused.
Title: Re: Are you Scizophrenic ? Post by: DoubleEagle on October 27, 2010, 09:54:04 PM Riding fast is a Spiritual experience for me.
I feel a Zen like emotion that lifts me above my surroundings. Dolph (http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn198/DoubleEagle_photo/ride.gif) Title: Re: Are you Scizophrenic ? Post by: El Matador on October 27, 2010, 11:07:35 PM I feel a Zen like emotion that lifts me above my surroundings. Past the truck's hood and into the ditch on the other side? ;) Actually I know what you mean, but the reward is not worth the risk. When I need to go too fast, I just take it to the track Title: Re: Are you Scizophrenic ? Post by: hadesducati848 on October 28, 2010, 12:00:29 AM on days when i am just out riding i do tend to get like that. but when im commuting to and from work i mostly behave myself [thumbsdown] too many [leo] on the freeway [bang]
now in small group rides 3 or 4 things do get a bit more out of hand but thats not my fault, i blame the guy leading the group ;D |
